Greg's Projects

• Greg is working on his Christmas socks with yarn from KnittyAndColor. Just one more sock to go, and he's on the heel of it (knitting toe-up).
• Greg is working on Frog and Toad by Kristina Ingrid McGowan. His wife's birthday has come and gone, so he can work on it without being secretive now.
